Photo of a Cayenne Jay, made by Dominiek Plouvier in July 2009 near Sabanapark in Suriname eating from the Phenakospermum guianense: Bigi Palulu, red traveler's palm. Also one picture by N. Takano in August 2004 near the Voltzberg in the central suriname nature reserve (CSNR), a protected reserve with an enormous surface of more than one million hectares, with more than 500 species of birds. The Cayenne Jay is mostly seen in savanna forests, in small groups. It is the only member of its family (the crows) in Suriname. A sound of the Cayenne jay was recorded by Ottema at Vier Kinderen (more like a whistle), while a group of lilac-tailed parrotlets flew overhead. A group of Jays, by the way, can make a lot more noise.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
